Hey xpro-shooters!

Does anyone know if there is a setting to disable evf auto-hide when camera is turned off. I couldn't find anything by now :(

I am a bit worried that triggering the evf show/hide mechanism too often may damage it in a long term. By default it hides the the camera is turned off even if I have a setting to use evf while shooting. Any thoughts? 🤔 Thanks!

Yep, that the default behaviour. For some lenses I use evf such as telephoto or manual lenses. But I usually turn off camera often to safe the battery, so the mechanism triggers quite a lot during the photo-walk hiding and showing again the evf.

My concern is to prolong the life of the mechanism by reducing the number of show-hide actions

I've owned the x-pro 3 shortly since after release and I've taken thousands of images with it. I mainly use the combo of evf/LCD when composing. Like you I turn the camera off to save battery. My advice to you is: Don't worry about it. The expected shutter life for the x-pro 3 is more than 200K+ actuations so unless you only shoot at the max 20FPS it's a non issue.

      Issue with X-T5 White Balance

      By Blue Zurich · Posted

      It is/was not what I was used to (5D3, R6) in terms of color and WB. Using Kelvin manually is just like another top dial. Something to do to get it right in camera.

      Cheap lens to start

      By Astigmatism · Posted

      I don't think there are Fuji "FX" lenses or mounts, it's "XF". If I had your camera I would buy any XF or XC lens and expect it to work. I do have an X-T30 ii, pretty similar. I have lots of XF lenses. XC lenses are made by Fuji and are cheaper, if it's cheap you want.  I wanted a lens with very few elements or element groups, and bought a Pergear lens for about $59 new. It only has 4 elements in 3 groups, IIRC. I also plan to use it if I ever think I might ruin the lens, like shooting something dangerous.

      Bad copy of 33mm?

      By Timpa · Posted

      Please help me before I send it back. Do I have a bad copy of Fujinon 33mm f1.4? I find it really soft off center (not even corner). See print screens. I focused on the same spot, just moved focus point. I get same result over and over again. (EDIT: After more testing I find that I can get sharper results off center but it's very inconsistent and not at all reliable. Focusing issues? It's not the camera, Ive have tried it on 3 different cameras)

      X-S20 can't be turned on while indicator lamp is blinking

      By fujifilm kaze · Posted

      Hi everyone. I'm new here. I recently bought an X-S20. It's really a decent camera but i encounteted something odd. I linked my X-S20 with my phone via wifi using XApp. I enabled Auto Image Transfer Order so that images in X-S20 will be sent automatically to my phone whenever Xapp is activated. When the camera is switched off while there are images queuing to be sent, the indicator lamp on the camera blinks green and orange. I know it is normal since it is only completely turned off until all images are sent to the phone. But sometimes the image transfer is discontinued due to connection problem or else. The problem is, after being disconnected, the camera seems not to identify the disconnection and keeps on blinking green and orange. If i switch the camera power button to ON, the camera will not show any response (but continues blinking). The only way to fix this problem is to take the battery out and put it bavk again. Did anyone also encounter this problem? I would like to know how to fix it.
